Simple, it isn't, just as a muslim or jew not touching pork doesn't affect other's ability to touch pork.
The majority of lamb produced in NewZealand is halal.

If you looked a little harder, yes NZ supplies quite a lot of lamb slaughtered according to shariah law but that is for Muslim customers, it sure dont end up in Tesco's or my local butcher.

Oh and you obviously didnt read my post correctly because I didnt refer to any culture specificaly. I said why do we have to conform and intergrate ourselves into other cultures where other cultures (but not all members of that culture) dont want to intergrate themselves into our culture. We are being forced to conform to what others want by the small minded PC brigade and our wonderful
labour government.
